Jayhawks come from behind for victory over Buffs
By PHIL ELLENBECKER Associate Snorts Editor
For a team that's been hit by hard luck all season, perhaps some good luck was a long time in coming, and that's just what the KU football team got in its 28-27 victory over Colorado Saturday in Boulder.
A bobbled snap from center by Colorado holder Derek Marshall on a 33 yard field goal attempt with two minutes and 19 seconds left in the game assured the Jayhawks of a Eberle KU. 4.5 overtime and 3.2 in the Big Ten overs and 3.4 place in the conference with the victory.
"Our kids have hung in so tough with the adversity, injuries, ineligibilities, being out-manned and whatever that I really think is happening," said Vince coordinator Vince Hoech said yesterday.
Head coach Mike Gottfried said, "It's a good win because we built it on something. We were coming off a good win against the Spurs and we needed we didn't suffer any let-down from that."
KU TOOK A 13-10 lead into the lockroom at halftime, but the Buffaloes scored on their first two possessions of the second half to
take the lead 24-13.
take the lead 24-19.
Colorado threatened to ice the game when tailback Lynn Williams fumbled the ball on the KU 37-yard line.
However, several big plays helped KU gain the lead for good. After the KU fumble, linebacker Mike Pless made what head coach Mike Gottfred said may have been the biggest play of the game, a diving interception of a Craig Keenan pass on the KU.
that play fueled KU's second comeback of the game. The Jayhawks had rebounded from a 10-0 deficit in the first half.
A 46-year Dodge Schwartzburg field goal, a 23-year touchdown pass from Mike Norseth to Jeff Long, and a 38-year touchdown pass to Jake Rush, and he put the Jayhawks back in front at 28-7.
Dino Bell set up Long's touchdown with a 33-yard kickoff return to the Colorado 45. David Smith set up Estell's touchdown by recovering a tumble on the Colorado 30-yard
WILLIAMS, WHO HAD his best rush game this year 120 yards on 27 carries, said the Jayhawks didn't panic when they fell behind in the second half.
"I don't think anybody was worried," he said. "It was more of an attitude of 'Come on,'"
Gottfried said, "That's a good sign, that we were able to do what we had to do to come back. It was a test of character, and our players responded well."
let's do it."
The two late touchdows capped a fine offensive performance by the Jayhawks, who had 205 yards passing, 202 yards rushing and only two turnovers.
"IT WAS ONE of the better games we've played this year, if not the best, mainly because it was the best balanced attack we've had this year." Williams said.
Hoch said, "I thought the offense really bailed us out. It was their day, and I was really happy for them. They had a great scheme, whereby they'd stretch the vertical positions on the field with four receivers. Colorado's safety was in a real bind on what he was doing, timing touchdown (Estell's 30-yard touchdown). It was a great call and great execution."
Although Colorado had more yards of total offense than KU, the Jayhawks kept the Buffaloes from scoring more points by causing turnovers and throwing the Buffaloes for losses when they moved into scoring territory.
The Jayhawks had a total of eight tackles
behind the line for 37 yards in losses, including two each by Robert Tucker and Lyndall Yarnell. Hoch said most of those plays were set up by blitzes. The Jayhawks had to blitz to halt Colorado's relentless passing attack.
"WE JUST TRIED to do whatever we could to stay in the game and fight for our lives," Hoch said. "We'd come in with six sometimes seven guys. It was a long dugge for us."
Gottried said, "It was one of those days when both teams were on. There are days when it goes like that."
Williams said the victory may have been the Javahaws' biggest this season.
"Being it came after probably the biggest win in KU history, and it was our first road win, and the first time we've had back-to-back wins, I think all those things together make this maybe the biggest win we've had this year," he said.
Gottfried said he was somewhat surprised at the position the team is in right now. KU was the consensus choice for last place in the conference before the season began.
"I THOUGHT that it would take us a little longer to get this far," he said. "It's a s
credit to our kids that we have been able to make this much progress."
Next week, KU returns home to face Nebraska, the third-ranked team in the nation. The Cornhuskers, 8:1 overall and 5:0 on offense, have been beaten by the Jayhaws since 1968.
"As I was talking about to our players today, we have another great opportunity against Nebraska next week," Gottried said. "I think our kids are excited about preparing for Nebraska. Any given day, that's the philosophy we had against Oklahoma, and we'll have to carry that over 'to the Nebraska game."
JAWHYAK NOTES: The only tampa Bay victory was a severe knee sprain suffered by tight end Jeff Anderson, which will sideline him for the rest of season. Anderson, a native of Evergreen, Col., was injured on KU's first series of the col. "He has everything in perspective, so he's handled it well," Gottfred said. . . Estell and tailback Robert Mimbs saw their first extensive action in three weeks Saturday after being suspended before the Kansas State game. Estell caught two passes for 64 yards. Mimbs rushed for 16 yards in seven carries and caught one pass for eight yards.

Swim teams have both good and bad luck over weekend

The men's team was dealt a severe blow Friday with the departure of Todd Neugen, the defending conference champion in the 200 meter breast stroke, from the team.
The women's swimming team kept firm control of the Big Eight conference by winning the Big Eight Invitational Friday at the NCAA Division I championship, but the men's team didn't fare as well.
Neugent, who also planned to compete in the 200-meter and 400-meter individual medley this year, said he left the team of problems with head coach Gary Kemmf.
"IT WAS A REALLY hard decision to make," Neugent said. "You can't imagine how much I like it here. The people are great,
I have a lot of good friends. It will be hard to leave."
Neugent had he planned to transfer to another school in January but he didn't know what job.
Kempii went Neugent's departure was a tough way to start the meet and the season.
"We have a couple of obstacles to overcome, but we will be the best team we can be."
THE MEN FINISHED third with $264^{\frac{1}{2}}$ points, behind Nebraska with 739 points and Iowa State with $332^{\frac{1}{2}}$ points.
Missouri was fourth with 189 points.
Oklahoma was fifth with 171 points. Southwest Missouri State was sixth with 157 points.
Missouri Rolla was seventh with 30 points.
The women won their division with 859% points. Nebraska was second with 611 points. The men won their division with 830% points.
Missouri was fourth with $ 300_{2} $ points.
KU's only victory in the men's individual events came in the 1,650-meter freestyle. Freshman Chuck Jones won in 16 minutes, and he beat seconds ahead of Jens Nielson of Iowa State.
Karl Stumf finished second in the 400 I.M. third in the 100 breast stroke and fourth in the 200 breast stroke. He also finished eight in the 200 I.M.
STUMPF SAID THE team didn't taper off its training for the meet, but he still swam well.
"It was pretty much go for it and die," Stump said. "You have got to get through the pain threshold. I didn't die early. I kept him. I am pleased with almost all one of my swims."
"I am farther along than I was last year, so
I suppose that is my main asset right now."
Stumpf also said the team was further
along at this point in the year than last year.
"TEAM-MIWE. WE ARE starting out pretty well, considering our depth." Stumpf pointed to Missouri and Iowa State in Missouri, Nebraska and Iowa State are pretty tough, they have a lot of depth."
Stumpf is the man possibly most affected by Nuegent's departure because he is now the team's top swimmer in the breast stroke and is being lifted to the No. 1 100 medley relay team.
Senior Brad Coen finished second in the 200 backstroke and third in the 100 backstroke and the 200 LM.
THE WOMEN WON 11 events, including
the 200 medley relay and the 200 freestyle relay
in Chicago.
Junior Tammie Peease won the 100 breast stroke, the 200 breast stroke, the 50 freestyle
Senior Celine Cerny won the 100 backstroke
and the 200 butterfly. She finished second in
the 200 breast stroke, fourth in the 100
breaststroke.
Sophomore Marcie Herrold won the 200 I.M. and the 400 I.M. She finished second in the 1,650 freestyle and fourth in the 200 butterfly and 500 freestyle.
Freshman Jacqueline Paeuse was second in the 100 backstroke, the 100 freestyle and the 100 butterfly. She was third in the 200 butterfly.
KEMPF SAID THE women's team had so much depth that it would be difficult to choose who would go the conference champions, but that was "a nice problem to have."
"I am pleased with the squad overall," Kempi said. "We did some good things, but we still have work left to do I was pleased with Tammy Peace, along with a host of others."
Patient Schwartzburg gets record

Dodge Schwartzburg waited four years behind Bruce Kallmeyer for a chance to become KU's No.1 kicker and became known as a man with patience. Two weeks ago, he was showing signs of severe impatience.
Through seven games, Schwartzburg had made eight of 10 field goal attempts. Last year, Kallmeyer made 24 of 29 field goal attempts and set a KU record with a 57 yard field goal against Iowa State. He also set an NCAA scoring record with 21 points, five field goals and six extra points, against Wichita State.
Kallmeyer's numbers appeared to be out of Schwartzburg's reach.
But Schwartzburg's thoughts came two games too soon. He kicked four field goals in four attempts in the Jayhawks' stunning 28-11 upset of Oklahoma Oct. 27, and he kicked three field goals in three attempts Saturday when KU defeated Colorado 28-27.
"BEFORE THE OKLAMOMA game I was thinking. It has been I a very big senior year. This year is the first time I'm in it."
His 31 yard field goal with three seconds, left before half time Saturday was his 10th consecutive field goal and broke the Big Eight Conference consequence record of nine. The record was held by player and Oklahoma State's Larry Roach.
"I tried not to think about it," Schwartz
"They might be a little bigger or stronger," he said of the Cornhuskers. "But sometimes that emotional high is a bigger factor, along with the fans. Usually our fans wear red to blend in with the Nebraska fans. This year I don't think they'll do that."
burg said of the record-breaking kick. "But it was in the back of my head. I knew it was to break the record, but it was just a chip shot."
He is still behind Kallmeyer in numbers, but not in quality. In two games, Schwartz burged his total to 15 field goals in 17 attempts for a conversion percentage of 882. With Nebraska, he may have a chance to make his record of 11 consecutive field goals.
"THIS IS THE biggest emotional high we've ever had," he said. "After the Oklahoma game everybody was spraying Coke all over in the locker room and going wild. The Colorado game was even more emotional for me. We had to win the game, and we found a way to win it. We're really close now. We're all like brothers."
Schwartzburg gave part of the credit for his success to his holder, Tom Quick, and another to his manager, Tim Cook.
"I'm just doing my job, along with Pat Connor and Tom Quow," he said "Without the help of a friend."
Schwartzburg almost didn't have the job early in the season, when he battled with junior college transfer Jeff Johnson for the
top kicking spot. Coach Mike Gottfried eventually picked Schwartzburg
"Pressure from her kicker is always going to help," Schwartzburg said. "I pushed Bruce for four years. You've got to have competition."
After winning the starting job. Schwartzburg had one more hurdle to clear before beginning his record breaking string.
"I HURT BOTH of my ankles earlier in the season," he said. "I twisted my plant (left) foot on a kickoff against Vanderbilt. A week later during filming for The Mike Goffred Show I caught a pass and twisted my right knee. They're back to about 35 percent now."
The only action he missed because of the injuries was a kickoff against Iowa State Gottfried didn't expect him to play against the Cyclones, but Schwartzburg came through with 42- and 25-yard field goals.
A soccer-style kicker, Schwartzburg's career began on a junior varsity practice
"We were at JV practice in high school, and I saw the guys kicking," he said. "I said, I used to play soccer in sixth grade. I think they were very good, 42 yards, 42 yards and they did." You're the kid.
Since that time, Schwartzburg has improved his kicking with coaching from "Doc" Storey, who teaches the mental aspect of kicking.
"It I do get a chance to further my career after this year, he's the man I'll see," Schwartzburg said.
SEATLE — The Seattle Seahawks set a National Football League single-game record with four interception returns for touchdowns, including two by Dave Brown of 95 yards and 58 yards, yesterday, crushing the Kansas City Chiefs 45-0.

Volleyball team loses to Sooners
"We didn't play with enough intensity." Lockwood said. "We were lethargic on the floor. We had enough quickness, but the total coordinated movement of six players was not great."
head coach Bob Lockwood said KU was affected by some of the same problems that have occurred at UCLA.
Okahama beat KU in the Jayawhays' last home volleyball game of the season Friday at Okahama.
"We have four or five freshmen on the floor

at any time." Lockwood said. "Sometimes they expect someone else to make the play, and you can't do that. You have got to think every ball is coming to you."
Lockwood said the team would do drills this week to improve court quickness and intensity to prepare for Thursday's match against Kansas State at Manhattan.
